The obvious answer is "no", but it makes you wonder. The first wave of tech platforms that defined the online experience for millions (Aol, Myspace, Yahoo, etc) are now largely gone. Will the history repeat with the giants of today?

On one hand, we see some signs of that. For example, Facebook is no longer "cool" with younger folks. On the other hand, Meta has so much $$$ that they can try to reinvent themselves or acquire "cool" platforms, thus ensuring corporate continuity even if Facebook fizzles out - they have Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.
